The Beijing Olympics of 2008 came as a great sporting spectacle for me, somebody who really likes sports. More so because of the fact that there are so many different sports sorts all taking place at any one time.
One particular sporting area that interested me was the men’s sprints. …

Chicago Bulls starting point guard Kirk Hinrich from the University of Kansas has come a long way from the days when he started in the league. He has become a leader in a very young team that has unlimited potential in the future.
The Bulls have a number of …

Dallas Mavericks acquired Jerry Stackhouse for that antawn jamison trade and his value to the team highly depends on his ability to stay healthy for the duration of the season. Although not quite as explosive as he once was when he was younger, Stackhouse still is gifted enough to …

Brett Lee is at present the fastest bowler in international cricket. The Australian has got superb pace that troubles batsmen all the time. He mixes his pace very well, varies in swingers that makes deadly combination. Earlier he did not had a good line and length but slowly he …

Over the years in the NBA, there have been plenty of guys with the potential for greatness. Though most have just been all hype, no talent, there have been a few previously who have had the hype and the careers to back it up. Damon Stoudamire is one of …

Andy Douglas is one of my current personal Favorites in the tag-team division along with his partner Chase Stevens. The Naturals as they are known, bring fresh new life into tag team wrestling which has declined to a major and critical extent since the demise of World Championship Wrestling, …

An original pick for the Detroit Pistons, Jason Maxiel has turned into a reliable big man off the bench for Flip Saunders and Pistons. He comes into the game and immediately affects the game. He can score on a number of ways in and around the basket area. He …

When I think Indiana Pacers, I think Reggie Miller, The free flowing three point specialist that left his mark on the league and on Spike Lee when he threw his hands around his throat in a choking gesture at a game at Madison Square Garden in the playoffs. It …

Jacque Jones is an outfielder for the Chicago Cubs. At the end of last year he was belting home runs like they were singles. Too bad he has not done that this year. So far he has only 1 HR and 17 RBI’s but he continues to start for …

About fourteen years ago, there was a team in NCAA mens division 1 basketball that was probably the best team never to win a national championship. I’m speaking of course of the Michigan Wolverines and their fab-five team which included Juwan Howard. Juwan was one of the super stars …

AWW is better known as Anti-Watershed Wrestling and is a professional wrestling promotion based in Birmingham, England. They host their regular main shows in Digbeth, Birmingham but also host their major shows a few times a year at Aston University and smaller, family friendly shows at a smaller venue …

I follow NASCAR pretty closely these days and have been the last few years. I watched it as a child, too, but left the sport behind into becoming hooked again circa 2005. The one thing that has bugged me, probably more than anything else, since that time …

Brevin Knight was signed by the Clippers to replace the injured Shaun Livingston who suffered possibly a career ending injury last year. Knight is a good replacement for Livingston since he facilitates the offense better and is more of a veteran presence than Shaun. With Cassel starting at the …

Former Duke point guard Chris Duhon who currently runs the offense for the Chicago Bulls has earned himself a reputation as a tireless worker who plays and practices through pain for the good of the team. He was much praised when he experienced a very painful rib injury last …

In my opinion, Corey Maggette is one of the most gifted scorers in the game. Saddled with injuries though for a majority of his career. Still talent can’t be deceived. Maggette has one of the most flawless jump shots i’ve ever seen. His stroke is effortless and this translates …

I compare Ben Gordon to that of former Piston the microwave Benny Johnson. Gordon started his career as a contributor off the bench and every time his number was called during the game he always often converts.
Gifted with extraordinary strength at the two guard position, Gordon also has …

This is a small skatepark put up that is “temperary”. It is only there until the LRT tracks come, although this will not be for a couple of years, so skate away well you can.
The location of the park is nice. The next nearest skateparks in the south are …

I also play golf during occasional times. One of my best friends introduced me to the sport and in the spirit of amity, I decided to try his sport. My first love has always been soccer and surfing. I find the sport too unproductive. During our lessons, I bought …

James tallied a team-best four interceptions in 2003, including picks in consecutive victories over AFC playoff qualifies Baltimore and Seattle. The suffocating defender added 18 passes defensed. James is definetly the Bengals number 1 defender, and might soon become the best cornerback in the NFL. The Bengals should definetly …

The Vancouver Canucks NHL team is certainly not the most successful team as far as winning Stanley Cups go; in fact, in their 80 year history, they have never won the coveted championship cup and have only made it into the final twice. Still, hockey fans in Vancouver and …

Randy Foye whom the Minnesota Timberwolves drafted last year in the Rookie draft is a good player to have in your team. I doubt if he has already tapped half of his potential already. Teaming up with Rashad McCants to form their backcourt of the future. And that would …

Willie Green of the Philadelphia 76ers is a pleasant surprise for the team. I have seen him develop into the player that i’m sure former General Manager Billy King envisioned him to become. With the lack of firepower the Sixers are experiencing right now, Green has made himself into …

Ranked in the top ten best leagues in the world, I think much of the basis for this ranking lies firmly on the amount of money flowing through the Absa Premiership, the sponsorships as well as the organization, but not the quality of football itself.
As a South African, soccer …

Sadly for Marcus Williams he hasn’t played a game so far this year. Plagued with injuries since the opening game of the season. Williams has got nothing to do but wait for his injuries to heal and get his chance to play again for the New Jersey Nets. With …

Two years ago, on a whim, I purchased the Topeak Alien II Multi-Tool because it was on a sale (every sale looks good once you’ve been bitten by the bike stuff bug) and it arrived a few days later.
After a couple minutes of consternation figuring out how to actually …

Before David Stern, the commissioner of the National Basketball Association, changed the rule last year that prohibited players from making the leap from high school directly into the NBA, one player got in just before the shop closed. Louis Williams, the six foot two inch poing guard from South …

If you were to tell me five years ago that so many European players would be gracing our courts in the NBA, I would have thought you meant the olympics were returning here. Dream Team style. I wouldn’t have figured that you meant players like the Memphis Grizzlies seven …

The Detroit Lions went 0-16 last season and were considered the poster child for terrible franchises. I think that isn’t correct at all. I think the poster child should be the Cleveland Browns.
Years ago, Cleveland lost the original Browns (now the Baltimore Ravens) and got them back as part …

The world of martial arts has changed dramatically over the past 20 years. Decades ago, forms training were the main way students practiced their art. This practice has fallen by the wayside since many money martial arts disapprove of the method. Those that are fortunate enough to view a …

The basketball world was estatic almost eleven years ago when Stephon Marbury was coming out of Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets super star was the pride and joy of his team and slated to be the best young guard in the NBA. Upon being drafted, things quickly went south …

A seven foot center for the Boston Celtics Kendrick Perkins is one of those who got drafted straight out of high school. When he entered the league he was considered a raw prospect that needed repolishing but he did had the necessary tools to be productive. Perkins has indeed …

In 2008, a new camera was installed in the ground to get a groundhog-type view of the cars racing around the track in NASCAR. The groundhog made for great folley and was on his way to becoming a star. Soon, the broadcasters set up a contest to name …

Ronnie Price of the Utah Jazz who is the team’s third string point guard was originally drafted by the Sacramento Kings. Now with the Jazz, Price will be a player who will come off the bench only on situations where the game has already been decided.
He is still young …

Of all the head coaching candidates this coming off season, Marty Schottenheimer will likely be the most sought after.
Schottenheimer has never won a Super Bowl. In fact, he hasn’t had a great post season record; which is why he was fired by the San Diego Chargers. But, he’s …

Out of all the European players currently lending their services and talents to the National Basketball Association, Peja Stojakovic was probably the first and still one of the most famous. Of corse he wasn’t the first European player, but he was definitely one of the first legitimate super stars …

My son and niece used to work at Camden Yards, Oriole Park and I would go with them to the games to assure that they arrived home safely. I had the opportunity to meet many baseball players during this period because I was always at the games.
I …

Ok, when people talk about Chicago Bears’ player Devin Hester, I will be the first to admit he’s pretty fast. After all, Madden Football gave him the first ever 100 speed rating.
But, I also think he’s very overrated.
The guy is dangerous as a kick returner. But, the fact he …

Most basketball players that make it to the NBA via high school come into the league under heavy hype and media coverage. The majority already have shoe contracts and tons of endorsments from companies wishing to get the jump on their stardom. This wasn’t the case with the current …

If you are a fan of football, then watching Manchester United play Rangers in the European Champions League in the 2010/11 season has been no great spectacle. Manchester United were the huge favourites when on the way to Ibrox, but having watched Rangers defend for 90 minutes at old …

I was reminded today just how wonderful the In-Car Audio offering by NASCAR to fans is. In-Car Audio is offered in a variety of ways, through NASCAR. It can be on its own or as part of other programs that give the fan information on a race …

I found the perfect gift for my husband, an avid golfer, and he assures me that it is not only useful, but it has become integral to his golf game. I never go wrong with gifts that have something to do with golf, but I didn’t think he needed …

Golden State Warriors two-guard Jason Richardson who won the slam dunk contest two years in a row is more than just dunking. His game has superstar potential written all over it. His great leaping ability is his main asset and in the slam dunk competition no one is better …

The Detroit Pistons is a well oiled running team that has been in the contention for the title the last five years. With a solid Starting five and the fact that they have nurtured their young players to someday replace the aging stars that they have, the bench has …

It is actually funny how Trenton Hassel ended up together with Juwan Howard for the Dallas Mavericks. Early in the summer, the Dallas Mavericks decided to trade Juwan Howard to the Minnesota Timeberwolves in exchange for Trenton Hassel. At that time the Mavericks needed a defensive stopper who can …

When the Green Bay Packers drafted Korey Hall this past April, I didn’t think too much of the move. Hall had played linebacker in college and they said they were going to convert him to fullback; a position he never played before. I figured, at best, he was going …
